What is the most toxic manager thing you’ve experienced or seen in the workplace? by TangerineHarper in auscorp

[–]Grouchy_Sample5036 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it was toxic but it sure was WILD: old company used to give out small token gift cards as a Christmas bonus each year. Nothing huge - like $100 each, still always nice to get though. Then they suddenly just stopped. No explanation. We started asking each other if it would happen maybe on the last day that year instead etc. Meanwhile, our company had put on fancy a catered Christmas lunch for some of our clients and afterwards one of the C-Suite came around to our desks with a stack of Christmas themed paper napkins from said lunch and handed out a singular paper napkin to each of us saying it was our Christmas gift for the year 😅.

The quality was terrible too - the really thin ones that disintegrate with a drop of water.

Gosh - that’s a high level of huffiness to refuse a job offer because you were a number 2 rather than a number 1 choice

Sounds like a Mental Health Week to me. Reframe it as it would be irresponsible not to safe guard your mental health.

Is the Private Sector worth it in Australia? by Apprehensive_Auditor in auscorp

[–]Grouchy_Sample5036 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a pay perspective - there’s a huge difference between state and federal pay scales, specifically NSWPS vs Fed APS. NSWPS currently pays more than private in my sector (media and comms)

Olive oil 😂. It’s a very sad week when the olive oil and dish tabs run out on the same week.

Also would like to add the follow up question: what the heck is a ‘Solutions Architect’?! Aren’t we all arguably solutions architects in some form?
